Saddam's WMD Moved to Syria, An Israeli Says
http://www.nysun.com/article/24480

Mod's: Please move to GD if appropriate. I think NY Sun ranks right up there with the National Enquirer. Anyway, I thought this was significant. It appears that this is how they are going to "roll". I firmly believe that it's either Syria or Iran next for these phsycho's. Here's is justification. All they need now is something tragic to happen in a large American city, and the people's fear level will be high enough for the next country on the PNAC'ers list.

Here we Go!!!

"Saddam Hussein moved his chemical weapons to Syria six weeks before the war started, Israel's top general during Operation Iraqi Freedom says.

The assertion comes as President Bush said yesterday that much of the intelligence on Iraq's weapons of mass destruction was incorrect.

The Israeli officer, Lieutenant General Moshe Yaalon, asserted that Saddam spirited his chemical weapons out of the country on the eve of the war. "He transferred the chemical agents from Iraq to Syria," General Yaalon told The New York Sun over dinner in New York on Tuesday night. "No one went to Syria to find it."

Well, I guess we'll just have to go to Syria to have a little "look see". My God, it would be scary enough if these people weren't in power. At least you can hide the crazy aunt in the attic when company comes over. These idiots are right out there for the world to see.

7. Part of
the problem and it is an old problem that goes back years when I was involved in the "black intel" world is having enough analysts to study the information. It comes in bits and pieces not a nice color picture with the words this truck contains CBR material.

16. Yeah but,
while I am sure that is true, the run up to this war lasted a year, and if we weren't watching that border VERRRY CLOSELY 6 weeks before the invasion, for exactly this movement, it, well, it's frightening to to contemplate.

Not only that, we controlled much of that border with our so-called "no-fly zones". There was only a relatively small area in which this could have happened without our intervening if we chose to.

Furthermore, I don't think there has been any realistic evidence that they even had any of this stuff since the last war there.

But your point is taken. Welcome to DU.

23. So where is the EVIDENCE???
It's easy to say this or that happened, but where are the WMD factories? Where are the storage facilities?

You might be able to make a case for stuff being moved if there was evidence any of current production and storage at the time of the supposed moved.

I don't think our inspectors are so stupid they would not have been able to determine that WMD had been recently moved.

Or are you just painting the country with a broad racist brush?

15. I sure hope the world
doesn't see all Americans in that light becasue our current "leadership" is fascists and liars, like Israel's.

Every country has it's share of fascists and liars.

5. That story got thrown around back at the beginning
of the Iraq invasion. It would be awfully hard to move that much WMD that quickly.

10. Is this guy vouched for by Judy Judy Judy Miller or ...
Bob Woodward. What's George Willful's - Charles Krautyammer's - William Safeliar - Henry Kissmessenger's and Dick Chenis's take on it? Endeavor to persevere - onto to Dam-don't-askus.

14. Yaalon is an interesting character.
He has previously criticised the Israeli government's military strategy for dealing with the Palestinians as being too harsh. It's sad to see him toeing this tired line of bullshit.

24. Bullshit. Rumsfeld was quoted as saying that they "knew right where
the WMDs were" in Iraq pre-invasion. This Administration has NO credibility left; if they said "the sky is blue", I'd run outside to check.
